That same evening Jack will join long-time friend, and fellow Fifer, Sir Ian Rankin for a special ‘in Conversation’ event at St Bryce Kirk, Kirkcaldy.
Christine McLean, head of cultural heritage and wellbeing for OnFife, said: “This is a unique opportunity to spend time with two of Fife’s best known cultural figures together under one roof.
Both Ian and Jack are donating their time, and all profits from the evening will go to support the work of OnFife.
